OH MY!

After a lost bear found its way into an east Winter Garden neighborhood, local wildlife experts say a little education can quell some fears.

STAFF WRITER

S

ix days after Winter Garden residents spotted a Florida black bear scavenging for food in their neighborhood, officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission caught the animal.

Residents spotted the bear Aug. 6 in an east Winter Garden neighborhood near East Bay and Christopher streets. Annie Collins snapped a photo of the hungry bear, which she later posted on Facebook. And although Collins would prefer her neighborhood to be bear-free, she understands it’s part of living in a high-growth community.

“This bear has been pushed out,” Collins said. “I’m sure if it hadn’t been for all this construction of these homes, the hospital grounds way back toward Apopka, the expansion of the toll roads, this bear would probably have somewhere to go, but it’s being pushed out. … That’s the only reason I called FWC, it’s because I don’t want that bear to become (accustomed) to people to where they have to do something to it or it attacks somebody and you have to kill it.”

FWC COSTSHARE GRANT OPPORTUNITY The FWC is providing a funding opportunity for governing bodies located in areas with high levels of human-bear conflicts. The funds will be awarded to local governments making serious efforts to ensure residents secure their garbage, and will be used to cost-share the purchase of bear-resistant trash cans. A total of $825,000 is available, $376,900 of which came from proceeds of the 2015 bear hunt permit sales. The grant application deadline is Oct. 16.

Because of the bear sighting, many residents did not allow their children to play outside until it had been caught and removed.

Collins’ own 79-year-old neighbor had food she had been growing in her garden go missing.

“It’s just hungry,” Collins said.

“Where’s their food? You’ve pushed down the trees; you’ve pushed down the berries; there’s now nothing. It ate all of my neighbor’s fruit and vegetables.

She had a garden over in that house.”

After catching the bear Friday, Aug. 12, FWC officials now are relocating it to Ocala National Forest, the nearest appropriate bear habitat, said FWC spokeswoman Carli Segelson.

West Orange resident Don Kendzior, a certified Florida master naturalist and the president of Noah’s Notes, a local nonprofit environmental organization that advocates for nature and wildlife conservation, said he suspects development is the reason why the bear strayed into a residential area.

“It possibly could have been living in a natural area that was destroyed by development forcing it out to find a new home,” Kendzior said. “Wildlife will often follow undisturbed corridors, especially waterways, rail or utility lines, to move between habitats in urban and suburban areas.”

However, Jim Bronzo, founder of Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary, holds a slightly different theory.

He d o e s n ’t completely discredit development as the main reason, but he said bears are smart and that they likely remember the traumatic events

from the controversial bear hunt in 2015.

“Since that bear hunt, bears have shown up in places that they never were before,” Bronzo said. “These new bears are doing exactly what we told FWC was going to happen. The hunters went deep into the woods, where they’re eating their strawberries, not messing with anybody. … That’s what this bear was, this Winter Garden bear.”

The Winter Garden bear caused unease among residents, who were fearful for their children, considering several walk to school or bus stops. Taylor Clark, the education and wildlife coordinator at Oakland Nature Preserve, conducted research in the Smoky Mountains where residents peacefully live alongside bears.

Clark believes residents’

THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 2016

panic can be reduced with a little education.

“It comes as a shock because I don’t think people understand bear psychology, so they’re really intimidated by bears,” Clark said.

“People think that they’re meat eaters, and they’re going to come after them and eat them. But I think when people understand more about bears and their biology, they’ll understand they’re just looking for an easy handout.”

Clark suggests residents consider buying special locks for their garbage bins. For municipalities interested in buying bear-resistant trash cans, the FWC is offering grants that can be applied for by any governing body.

“The worst attractant to bears is household garbage,” said FWC officer Greg Workman. “Be very careful of when you put your garbage out. … Putting it out early could be almost like ringing a dinner bell to wildlife. So try to not put it out the night before.”

Workman advises all residents in a neighborhood to cooperate to deter bears from coming because even one person who doesn’t comply can lure a bear to the neighborhood. Workman also offers the tip of using whistles or airhorns to drive a bear out of an area.

“They’re gentle animals, and they get scared,” Bronzo said.

“They eat berries. They’re not meat eaters. And the people just freak out, and I keep seeing all these things on the news. … it’s unbelievable. You’d think it was Bigfoot or something, I mean, there’s bears everywhere.”

QUICK TIPS A bear’s primary reason for entering a neighborhood is food. Here are ways you can make your community a little less appetizing. n Place household garbage outside during morning of trash pick-up day. n Invest in bearresistant trash cans. n Avoid using bird feeders, unless they are bearresistant. n Use a lowvoltage electrical fence. n Avoid growing fruit-bearing trees. n Avoid leaving pet food outside. n Clean barbecue grills left outside.

IF YOU SEE A BEAR n Do not approach n Do not frighten the bear n Back away slowly n Report it to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission n Keep it in sight n Monitor ear position n Use bear pepper spray if it charges

BAY LAKE ELEMENTARY

Before Yadiel Santaella, 5, left for his first day of school, he was sure to grab his red and blue Avengers lunchbox, which matched his backpack and his shirt.

The first-grade student and Captain America fan grinned as he walked on to Bay Lake Elementary School’s campus with his sister, Arianna, 8, by his side. Like most children on the first day of school, Yadiel and Arianna were thinking about meeting their teachers and new friends.

Yet, like each student who walked through Bay Lake Elementary’s doors on Monday, Yadiel and Arianna were new to the school. In fact, each teacher at Bay Lake was new to the school, as well.

Bay Lake Elementary is one of three new schools to open in Orange County this year. The school helped to relieve overcrowding at other elementary schools in the Horizon West area.

Despite everything feeling so new, the word of the day from the students was “excited.”

“I’m excited to see my friends,” said Ryder Bax, a fifth-grade student who previously attended Sunset Park Elementary School.

Many of his friends from Sunset Park now attend Bay Lake Elementary.

Bay Lake is led by Principal Myrlene Kimble, who said the day was one of the easiest first days she’s ever had.

“It’s been phenomenal … it’s probably been my smoothest opening day yet,” Kimble said.

“The parents (are) just so overwhelmingly supportive and positive throughout this whole experience. … (The kids) came in and they were ready to go.”

The transition went well despite some nerves it caused, particularly from fifth-graders who spent most of their time in elementary school at Sunset Park Elementary.

“I feel nervous, and it’s kind of weird since I left off there, and I thought I would be there for fifth grade,” said Taleechca Delva, a fifth-grader who transferred from Sunset Park.

During its first day of classes, Bay Lake also had some visitors — Barbara Jenkins, superintendent of Orange County Public Schools, and Pam Gould, District 4 School

“The classrooms are bright and cheerful, and the team here is so excited,” Gould said. “On all the doors, there’s these great welcome messages. It’s thrilling to have the school open.”

Around Orange County, the first day of school went smoothly overall.

“The first day is going fantastic,” Jenkins said. “I love the first day of school; it’s so exciting for the adults as well as for the children. We’ve had no major issues.

Nine-hundred-and-two buses out rolling on the streets; of that, we’ve only had maybe 20 that were running slightly behind.

Any time they’re running behind, it’s usually because of congestion in the area because parents want to drive on the first day.”

WEST ORANGE HIGH

It’s 9 o’clock Monday morning at West Orange High School, and Bill Floyd makes his way through the courtyard on his first day of classes at the most-crowded public school in Orange County.

The new principal said WOHS has about 4,300 students on its main and ninth-grade campuses, which were built for a combined capacity of 4,000.

“You take a step, and then side step to get around somebody, take a step, side step to get around somebody,” Floyd said of maneuvering around overcrowded campuses.

There are 1,013 students alone in the Class of 2017.

Floyd isn’t too worried about leading the masses, though. In his first few years as principal of Apopka High, students numbered more than 4,000.

This is West Orange’s final year as the largest Orange County Public Schools high school. For the 2017-18 academic year, about 1,860 ninth-, 10th- and 11thgraders will be rezoned and reassigned to the new WOHS relief

Third-grader Arianna Santaella and her brother, first-grader Yadiel Santaella, are excited to be among Bay Lake’s first students.

school presently under construction at 5523 Winter Garden-Vineland Road, Windermere.

“The current challenge is to make sure that every student is served with an individualized education,” Floyd said. “And that’s really hard when you’re working with such a large number.

“It’s real important that at least one adult on the campus makes some sort of personal connection with that person,” he said. “It could be me, heck, it could be the custodian. Someone needs to take an interest in that kid and make him know he’s valued.”

The principal likened education to customer service: “It needs to be a collection of people that need to help folks get what they came in for.”

To do that, changes were made for this school year. A third lunch period was added, stretching lunch times from 11:02 a.m. to 12:23 p.m.

Four portable classrooms also were placed on the main campus near the stadium and 900 Building.

More student parking was made available inside the perimeter gates near the bus loop. Floyd said that while it’s not an ideal solution — vehicles are not permitted to leave until the last bus pulls out — it will work for some students.

West Orange has seven additional employees this year, too: a language arts teacher, two science and two social studies teachers, one permanent substitute teacher and one security guard.

CROSSING GUARDS NEEDED Orange County currently has a 40% shortage on crossing guards, according to Orange County School Board member Pam Gould. The position is often difficult to fill because it is a part-time job that requires a person to work at two different times each day.

The district is filling the gap by having the Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputies and police officers man the crosswalks.

Even Commissioner S. Scott Boyd helped cross students during the first day of school.

Crossing guards work for about two hours a day, before and after school, for a total of about 10 hours per week.

ABOUT IRONMEN OF GOD IronMen of God is a local community of men who gather to help equip each other to make their faith about Jesus known in their workplaces and community. They meet monthly for coffee gathering in the Garden Room above Axum Coffee. Additionally, the group is preparing to start another “connect” gathering, as well as participate in challenges with one another.

“There’s a lot of men that want to be courageous when they see stuff like that, but they don’t know how to do it,” Hill said.

“Therefore, I can’t be around Brooke 100% of the time, 24 hours a day. When I saw that event, I reminded Brooke to never let her guard down.”

Hill realized a self-defense course could help equip his daughter and other women in the community. He is active in IronMen of God, a local community of men who gather to help equip each other to make their faith about Jesus known in their workplaces and community. The group has something called IronMen Challenge — where they challenge each other to be better men, leaders and husbands. That can be anything from keeping a healthy lifestyle to collecting shoes for people in need.

He decided to create a selfdefense course for women, issuing a challenge to himself and other IronMen to help equip their wives and daughters.

Other men, including Windermere Police Chief David Ogden, were eager to help.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS TIM BURKE Burke was in the U.S. Army for 24 years and spent the majority of that time working in Special Forces and Special Operations as a Green Beret. In 2008, he retired and became a federalized police officer. He led a counterterrorism unit based in Los Angeles.

When an earthquake struck Haiti in 2010, First Baptist Church of Orlando asked Burke to rescue a group of high-school students and chaperones who were there on a mission trip. Within 36 hours, he returned to the U.S. with the entire group.

“I’ve been called on to rescue people ever since,” Burke said.

He’s rescued businessmen who were caught up in bad deals overseas.

Now, he rescues girls around the world out of human trafficking with an organization called Destiny Rescue.

WHAT IS SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING? Training to defend yourself is just as much about being mentally prepared as it is knowing strategies for self defense.

“I’m often heard saying to guys that I can have a monkey teach you technique … that’s all really well and good, but the reality is they are in critical incidents; they’re in crisis,” Ogden said.

In moments of crisis, adrenaline kicks in. This adrenaline can be helpful, but it can also create moments of tunnel vision.

Therefore, it’s important to be mentally prepared in a crisis.

Ogden and Burke both emphasize the OODA Loop, which stands for Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. “If you can apply the OODA Loop to everything you’re doing, you’ll decrease your car accident potential, you’ll decrease your potential for being attacked, you’ll decrease you’ll potential for being broken into,” Burke said. “It’s a way of life, not just a technique.”

DAVID OGDEN Ogden is currently the chief of the Windermere Police Department. He has spent 30 years in the field of policing, with 14 years on a SWAT team.

Ogden has also practiced martial arts for 32 years, recently opening his own Jiu-Jitsu gym, Gracie Barra in Clermont.

He has taught many selfdefense courses.

that could be offered for the women in our lives, our wives, our daughters and our family members that we could put together?”

Ogden said.

Keeping it clean Lake Down from the north contained high concentrations of phosphorus. This is problematic because the lakes’ water flow north to south, carrying the polluted water into Wauseon Bay, which ultimately discharges into Lake Butler and eventually finds its way into the southern lakes of the Butler Chain.

To remedy this, Orange County Environmental Protection Division initiated an alum treatment system to improve the water quality entering the north side of Lake Down. The project, funded by the Windermere Water and Navigation Control District, remained at a standstill in the planning stages for several years but was finally completed in mid-July.

With a depth of 15 to 20 feet, the alum treatment system comes in the form of a retention pond located upstream of Lake Down at the end of Wonder Lane. A dam was built to force water into the pond, causing the majority of the pollutants to enter the pond.

Alum concentrate is then pumped into the pond and mixed into the water.

The alum treatment is key because it binds to the pollutants and coagulates, forcing the pollutants to settle to the bottom of the pond in the sediment. The sediment and pollutants can then be removed, allowing the pollutant-free water to discharge into the channel entering Lake Down.

RAVE OF THE WEEK

KAYLEIGH CARRIGAN Rave! Lucky Straw in Winter Garden. While I was waiting for my son’s hair appointment, we went next door to get a bubble tea slush and popping pearls for my sons.

In conversation with the owner, I just mentioned how crazy it’s been with back-to-school shopping.

So he gives my sons their drinks, then he hands me one and says, “This one’s on me for mom.” Totally made my day!

“I think people will enjoy it. It is a family show by all means. It’s a history lesson, too. … We’re not trying to make a racial statement in this show, but it’s a look into history with song and dance. It’s not as heavy as ‘Roots,’ but it’s a good show to bring your young kids to that can start some good family discussion about the race issues and history in general.”

Jim, a slave in the pre-Civil War era, presses on toward freedom, with the hopes of one day being reunited with his family.

Like Jim, Morman has had his share of struggles to overcome.

Earlier in life, he became ill. He struggled with a drug addiction.

He lacked confidence in his performance abilities.

But over time, Morman’s struggles made him stronger.

“My challenge was to reunite myself with who I was,” he said.

“Each one of those challenges caused me to question, ‘Can I make it?’”

This summer is the fifth year St. Luke’s has put on a large-scale production, directed by Steve MacKinnon, St. Luke’s director of contemporary music and theater.

The production runs through Aug. 21.

CHURCH TRADITION

Each year, the church selects a musical with a message it feels reflects the values of the church and its community. But the summer musicals also bring community members together at the church.

Ocoee resident Dustin Russell first walked through the doors of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church three years ago, when he was invited to try out for the church’s production of “Big Fish.”

Now, he attends the church and is involved in the worship team for the church’s contemporary service. In “Big River,” he stars as Huckleberry Finn.

“I just kind of never left,” Russell said. “It’s been a wonderful experience.”

Productions at St. Luke’s draw a mix of people. About half are church members, but the other half are from the community.

“The program is designed so we are out in the community but we are also bringing the community in at such a low ticket cost,” MacKinnon said. “We can let people see this really amazing, powerful piece of theater that speaks to our values but also entertains the masses.”

What you’re holding in your hands is the product of more than a year of planning. It’s the product of our wildest dreams — a bold step for a company that last month celebrated our 110th anniversary.

Welcome, readers, to the first edition of the Windermere Observer, a sister paper of the West Orange Times & Observer, which has roots that date back to the Winter Garden Ricochet in 1905.

For more than a century, our newspaper — through all its previous owners and iterations — covered the entire West Orange region with just one edition.

Today, that changes.

Put simply: West Orange has grown too large for one hyperlocal community newspaper.

For longtime readers: this new Windermere Observer will cover Windermere, Horizon West, Dr. Phillips, Bay Hill, Gotha and MetroWest, while the West Orange Times & Observer will renew its focus on Winter Garden, Ocoee and Oakland.

As the 10th newspaper owned by the Sarasota-based Observer Media Group, the Windermere Observer will strive to deliver on OMG’s slogan: “You. Your Neighbors. Your Neighborhood.”

The theater program at St. Luke’s will expand in the coming year. MacKinnon will go from being a part-time staff member to a full-time staff member and the church and will lead the program, which will involve more theater activities during the school year.

The church is also building a new building to house the contemporary worship services and the theater program.

community — many of whom have never worked together.

Ken Rush, the director of theater at West Orange High School, is a big part of the show — but he’s not directing this time. Rush takes the stage as an actor, playing the King, a comical character in the show.

“Big River” is a musical based off the classic Mark Twain novel, “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” which is set in the time period leading up to the Civil War. While a humorous story about a wild-mannered boy named Huckleberry Finn, the musical also delves into more serious topics, many of which still ring true for the modern world.

Huckleberry Finn runs away from home to escape from his violent father and ends up teaming up with Jim, the slave who seeks to free his family.

Huckleberry Finn views Jim as property, not human — a lesson that he learned from the world around him. But along the way, he learns that Jim is indeed human and more like him than he ever thought.

The journey Huckleberry Finn takes to come to this conclusion is what drew Russell to the part.

He feels portraying Huckleberry Finn’s transformation is powerful.

“His journey from the beginning of the show, from being that little punk kid to realizing that everyone is the same — what people view as what is right can sometimes be the wrong thing to do, especially when it comes to slavery,” Russell said.

The play’s message resonated with other actors as well.

Rachel Parker, a recent graduate of Olympia High School, feels the heaviness of her part. Parker plays Alice’s daughter, a slave, in the show.

“It’s rough, actually,” she said of the role. “Just because you have to connect to things of the past and being in slavery. … I’m not used to not having a voice; I’m very outspoken. Being in a role where you have to be meek and, obviously, as a slave you have to listen to people above you, is very hard.”

IT’S ALL ABOUT

Performing arts meets

pro wrestling

(407) 448-0244

503 MAIN ST. WINDERMERE, FL 34786 ANNEMCDONOUGH.NET

MetroWest resident and pro wrestler Jason Calabrese put together a ‘crossover of the arts’ production, called “We Don’t Play Fight.”

WINTER GARDEN When live wrestling meets a theatrical production, a riveting show is about to go down.

That’s what retired professional wrestler and playwright Jason Calabrese envisioned when he wrote and helped produce his play, “We Don’t Play Fight,” presented by CONQUER Pro Wrestling.

The first showing of “We Don’t Play Fight” was June 4 at the Orlando Shakespeare Theater, and it was a success. Now, the production is coming to the Garden Theatre in downtown Winter Garden for one night Friday, Aug. 19.

The story follows a middleaged, blind wrestling promoter who lost his job with the company following the accident that took his vision. After some time, he gets one more shot to earn his job back, with the help of his sidekick who assists him in being his eyes.

The promoter gets a one-hour, televised tryout to share his vision with the world, even though he himself can no longer see.

Calabrese, a MetroWest resident and New York native, moved in 2009 to Central Florida and had wrestled professionally on national TV for WWE and more.

Now 38 and a full-time personal trainer at LA Fitness, he realized wrestling in the minor leagues no

longer gave him the buzz he once loved.

But when he met playwright Rob Winn Anderson, something about the theater business clicked. Winn Anderson encouraged him to look up a play called “The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity,” a play about a professional wrestler.

After looking up some clips of the production and watching it from a wrestler’s perspective, though, Calabrese thought the physicality of the play was off — it was an actor playing a wrestler.

“The physicality wasn’t believable, so I said, ‘You know, why not write a play on pro wrestling and have it be a little more?’”

Calabrese said. “I said, ‘Let’s do something different and unique.

We’ll audition actors for the theater parts, and for the wrestling parts, we’ll hire real wrestlers.’”

From there, he was introduced to director Jason Skinner, who was able to help merge the theater and wrestling aspects of the play and bring them to life.

“I’m a rookie when it comes to plays and theater, but I appreciate the art,” Calabrese said. “I needed someone with the theater brains. My personal dream and desire was not to be a playwright.

I didn’t even take a writing or theater class.”

As soon as he started writing, though, the buzz he had been missing from wrestling slowly began to return. The passion for wrestling would always be there, and by combining theater and live wrestling, he could still get a taste of the sport to which he had dedicated much of his life.

“You’re still doing storytelling, you’re still in the wrestling ring, and you’re getting 10 times more attention doing this,” he said. “You have a buzz, it’s exciting and you’re having fun, and I said to myself, ‘That’s valuable to me.’ It’s not that I’m giving up on wrestling, it’s just that my dreams have changed a little bit.

“We Don’t Play Fight” mixes theatrical production with live wrestling.

I have progressed faster with the amount of connections and contacts through theater than I have in 15 years of wrestling.”

The show is family-friendly, and Calabrese calls it a “crossover of the arts,” as it combines live wrestling in a theater setting.

He hopes to both attract theater fans who just want to see a play, and wrestling fans who want to see wrestling. Both parties will be treated to a twist of something different.

One of his initial fears from the first show was whether the theater audience could tolerate the live wrestling — and whether the live-wrestling fans could tolerate the theater aspect. But listening to their reaction live — clapping, laughing and cheering — it was just like any other play.

From the last show at the Shakespeare Theater, he said fans, wrestlers and the production team could agree on three things: It was different, it was fun and they would love to be part of it and do it again. Not only is the show coming to the Garden Theatre, but also Calabrese is set to meet with staff from the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts.

“It’s never been done before, and it’s very hard in 2016 to say you’ve never done something before,” Calabrese said.

SIDELINE SCENE

Introducing ObserverPreps.com!

As an editor at a newspaper, you will inevitably run into problems.

It comes with the job.

Sometimes, though, we are lucky enough to run into “good problems” — and I like good problems.

One such good problem is the dilemma we have as a team each week when we sit down to discuss what will go in the sports page for an edition of the West Orange Times & Observer or the Windermere Observer.

The trick is balancing the wealth of high-school sports news and stories that are produced by the eight exceptional

STEVEN RYZEWSKI SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR

schools we cover for these two newspapers, along with the other stories that we can tell that fall

under the umbrella of sports.

See, although prep sports are a cornerstone of what a sports page in a community paper should be, there is still a wide array of great stories to be told that fall outside of that particular category.

Let’s face it — whether it’s world champion water skiers or our area’s vibrant golf scene — there’s a lot of cool sports stuff going on in West and Southwest Orange.

Luckily, we’ve identified a solution: Thank you, Internet.

Some of our regular readers who also engage with us on the inter-webs via social media already may be familiar with

the Observer Preps name as our sports-specific Twitter and Instagram handles (@ObserverPreps) and the name for our sports-specific Facebook page.

Now, though, if you type Observer Preps into your browser — losing the space between the two words and adding a “.com” at the end — you’ll be jettisoned to our newest platform. Our goal: Provide the best, most complete coverage of varsity sports in western Orange County.

Olympia cheer places first

The varsity cheer team at Olympia High had a productive summer, which it capped by winning the camp championship at the UCA Panama City Beach Cheer Camp.

The Titans took first place in extreme routine, all-around game day and cheer categories.

Olympia stood out among more than 20 teams and 500 girls.

The Titans varsity cheer team includes Sarah Sandlin, Emily Sexton, Keri Ann Collins, Tiffany Hudson, Rachel Teti, Caitlyn Broderick, Sayler Cristello, Courtney Allder, Ayanna Blake-Harris, Leah Wytiaz, Taylor Kirby, Tripoli Mulvihill, Camille Cleghorn, Cassandra Collins, Mattie Sowdon, Christine Sowdown, Imani Oliver, Elizabeth Jacoby and Kayla Montenegro.

The team is coached by Sandra Kubany.

Titans ramp up intensity Cam Montgomery ahead of Kickoff Classic SPONSORED BY SHANNON TILL STATE FARM IN FOWLER GROVES

Cam Montgomery, a Windermere resident and Olympia High School graduate, spent the summer in Alaska playing baseball for the Mat-Su Miners in the Alaska Baseball League.

While he was there, he won a home-run derby. This fall, Montgomery will return to the University of South Florida to continue his college baseball career.

Tell us about the home run derby.

There are two players from each team — there’s five players, so there’s 10 contestants. There are three rounds, and each round is timed. It’s a three-minute round with a 30-second break, and you can take it whenever you want. In the first round, I had 13 home runs, and that put me in second place going into the second. I only needed to hit six home runs in the second round to move on. I hit seven. The final round, I hit first, and I hit 13 home runs again. The other guy only hit like seven.

How did you end up in Alaska this summer?

My coach Ben Taylor from the summer league recruited me and contacted my coaches at school. Last fall, my coach asked me if I wanted to go to Alaska for the summer, and I said “Yeah, that sounds fun. I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska; it’s a great opportunity.” Got there June 3 and came home Aug. 8.

THE BASICS

AGE: 19 YEAR: Sophomore at USF POSITION: Right field THROWS: Right HITS: Right

Coach Kyle Hayes’ squad set the tone for its first game week of 2016 with a scrappy, intersquad scrimmage Aug. 15. Olympia will host Lyman for a preseason game at 7 p.m. Aug. 19.

STEVEN RYZEWSKI

Who’s your favorite Olympian and why?

Michael Phelps. He’s getting pretty old, and he’s still out there winning medals.

SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR LAKE BUTLER Just four days ahead of a preseason game against Lyman High Aug. 19, the Olympia football team concluded practice Aug. 15 with an intense, physical scrimmage.

The high-energy session is something head coach Kyle Hayes hopes will be a catalyst for his team entering the fall, with intensity being an area where the second-year coach chooses to lead by example.

“It’s not an overnight thing, but they are starting to get that (intensity),” Hayes said. “I learned a long time ago from a coach that if you’re intense (as a coach), they’ll be intense.

If you’re (relaxed), they’ll be (relaxed).”

Preseason games such as the one the Titans will host at 7 p.m. Friday offer coaches a chance to see how their players perform against a different opponent after beating up on one another since fall camp began Aug. 1.

For Olympia, the live game

What’s your favorite non-mainstream sport to watch in the Olympics?

Handball or beach volleyball.

They’re both fast-moving sports; there’s always action going on. It’s not like you have to wait a while for something to happen.

What’s the coolest place you visited in Alaska?

I went the Mat-Su Valley Glacier. That was really cool.

I also went hiking in Hatcher Pass. It was at the top of the mountains and it overlooks the whole valley.

What was your favorite memory at Olympia?

Winning my third district title was a good memory there. Senior year was fun.

Senior prom; senior everything was awesome.

— JENNIFER NESSLAR

action will afford Hayes and his staff an opportunity to assess the new pieces on the team’s roster, whether it be standout transfers such as brothers James and Josh Green or freshman newcomer Corey Jackson, among others — all of whom were unavailable to play during the spring game against Wekiva.

For James Green, who heads the Titans’ talented linebacking unit, Friday’s game against the Greyhounds will be an opportunity to show what the Olympia defense can do. “(We’re focused on) getting to the ball,” James Green said.

“Everybody just playing our game, playing physical and everybody getting to the ball.”

One way or another, Friday’s preseason contest will help set the tone for the regular season, which opens Aug. 26 with the Titans on the road against Seminole (Sanford). Olympia went 7-4 last season, including a bowl game victory.

Contact Steven Ryzewski at sryzewski@orangeobserver. com.

PRESEASON FOOTBALL

Area teams will take the field Aug. 19 for their annual Kickoff Classic games. All games begin at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

JONES AT DR. PHILLIPS QUICK HIT: Originally to be played at Jones but moved due to work on the Tigers’ home field, this is the first of four consecutive home games for the Panthers.

LYMAN AT OLYMPIA QUICK HIT: With some new additions, the Titans’ defense — especially its secondary and linebacking corps — should be formidable.

OSCEOLA AT WEST ORANGE QUICK HIT: Preseason game though it may be, expect the Warriors to take this one personally — Osceola defeated West Orange in last fall’s state semifinals.

CORNERSTONE CHARTER AT WINDERMERE PREP (4:30 P.M.) QUICK HIT: Expect CFCA-transfer Kai Patterson and freshman Tommy Dorrow to each get reps at quarterback for the Lakers.

INDIAN ROCKS CHRISTIAN AT CFCA QUICK HIT: This home game marks the debut of new Eagles head coach Chris Cook.

FOUNDATION ACADEMY VS. LEGACY CHARTER QUICK HIT: The two local rivals will meet on the gridiron for the first time at Walker Field in Winter Garden.

What’s your outlook on for USF this coming year?

This year, we have a lot of good returning young players. We got some kids back (who) were injured last year.

I think we’ll be pretty good this year.

What made you pick USF? I love Tampa, and I just really like the coaching staff at USF. What’s it like playing collegiate ball versus high school ball?

In Central Florida, you face a lot of good high-school baseball players. There’s a lot of pro prospects (who) come out of there, so there’s good talent. But college baseball is just like all the better players from your area and across the country on one team, so it’s definitely a lot better competition — better pitching, faster paced.

Kovalsky’s calling

OrangeObserver.com

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13

Kovalsky, 21, attended the United States Marines Officer Candidate School from May 28 to Aug. 6 in Quantico, Virginia. At OCS, candidates are trained, screened and evaluated to determine whether they have what it takes to be an officer. Upon passing OCS, candidates automatically become commissioned second lieutenants before continuing their training at the Basic School.

Kovalsky originally became interested in the Marines after watching her younger brother, Carter, enlist as a lance corporal. The way he talked about the Marines sparked Kovalsky’s curiosity about it. When a recruiter sent an email to the GWU Athletics department about OCS, it solidified her decision.

“I’ve played on teams my whole life,” she said. “I’ve had that camaraderie, and going from college athletics to a desk job kind of seems a little anti-climatic, not something that I would be super thrilled to do. This kind of presented itself. The leadership role you’d automatically be put into was attractive and everything

“I want to be an officer that my Marines can look up to or come to whenever they need to. That’s what being an officer is (all about).”

— Paige Kovalsky

about the Marine Corps is kind of what I would want for my future.

It seems like a really good fit for me.”

STRENGTH TRAINING

As mentally and physically challenging as OCS is, Kovalsky saw it as a humbling experience that gave her the chance to evaluate her strengths and weaknesses.

“Walking away I realized I have a lot of room for improvement,” she said. “The physical stuff is always going to be hard, but I think overall, just growing as a leader is always going to be the most challenging, because you’re dealing with actual people and actual lives and there’s more weight on the leadership aspect. I just know I want to be a good officer and continue growing in my leadership style.

“I want to be an officer that my Marines can look up to or come to whenever they need to,” she said.

“That’s what being an officer is (all about).”

As a commissioned officer, Kovalsky will be able to command all enlisted personnel who are under her command.

To become a commissioned officer, candidates must hold a college degree. Because Kovalsky is entering her senior year of college, she will not be able to officially commission until her graduation day.

ONE FINAL SEASON

Until then, she is focused on enjoying her senior year, finishing her degree in sports management and making her senior softball season the best yet. For the 2016 season, in fact, she was one of only three girls on her team to start all 52 games. The ultimate team goal is to win the conference.

Kovalsky said she wants to have a great season at the plate. In the

past, she has both pitched and served as an infielder. But this season, she’s gravitating away from pitching and looking forward to focusing more on her hitting.

“It’s definitely been a hard three-and-one-half years, just because I do pitch and play positions, so that makes it a little bit more difficult,” she said. “It’s been really good and my teammates are all super great, we’re such a close team. I couldn’t be happier with the team I’m on.”

Kovalsky also has a solid support system at home in Windermere.

And, even though she graduated Olympia in 2013, her Titans family also has continued to be a solid source of support — and none too surprised by her success. “(Kovalsky is) one of the most mature, team-oriented players I have had the pleasure of coaching,” said Mitch Sadowsky, who coached Kovalsky when she played for Olympia High’s volleyball team. “How she serves her teammates and community should be put in a manual and taught to others.”
